Business interruption insurance claims are known for being complex and time consuming. As a result of this, many business owners end up taking a lower settlement than they are entitled to.
One of the most difficult aspects of making a successful business interruption insurance claim, is demonstrating how your business would have performed had the interruption not taken place. This often involves calling on historical business data, but insurance companies will often question this and use other factors such as the emergence of a new competitor to reduce the amount you can claim on your business interruption insurance. Having detailed accounts can be helpful in proving your potential lost earnings but very few insurance companies will accept these at face value.
Insurance companies and their loss adjusters are known to use the vagaries of policy language and the desperate circumstances of companies trying to claim on their business interruption insurance to reduce the total value of the claim. Therefore, it is important to have a professional claim management service from a qualified business interruption insurance loss assessors like ICS.
